I love doing this ornament project w/ my classes every year! This year, 2 new designs: a heart (awesome!) and block letter initials (meh). I learn a lot about my sts during this time: traditions, pastimes, interests, also fine motor skills & spatial awareness! @CVESD_Wolfcanyo

Have you ever looked at one of the wind turbines as you drive by and wondered how big they really are? Hint: they're enormous! And at sunset, they cast shadows about half a mile long! So many STEAM ideas pop into my head whenever we pay one a visit! And listen to that energy!

[Katie Lafferty @Thrown2ThWolves]

This might put the scale into perspective!

How do you keep control over 100 kids waiting for a late bus after school? Try an impromptu biology and ecology lesson when a 1st grader brings you a traumatized and slightly squished baby lizard! The Lizard Whisperer (Wizard Lisperer?) is back!

Sometimes your tried-and-true investigations don't go as planned. After 30 minutes, this corn starch and water mixture should be purple...🤷🏼‍♀️ Lesson learned: don't switch sandwich bag brands!😆 #modelingcellorganelles #6thgradengss #ngss @teachnwolves @CVESD_Wolfcanyo

6th Grade Camp night hike, complete with a creepy treehouse, bats, a story about "edible rocks," night vision hacks, and more s'mores! It pays to know a 6th grade teacher who loves Camp!!… https://t.co/egvLzmPWwj

I am so incredibly impressed with the quality of our music program! These are 9- 10- 11- and 12-year-olds with only a couple of years of experience. I applaud our music teacher @Wolfcanyonmusic !!!

[Lowri Elen Casimiro @Wolfcanyonmusic]

Thunderstruck by @oloughlinmusic has given me a few extra grey hairs! The kids have worked hard pulling this together in time for the winter concert next week! Of course it’s open invitation, especially for @oloughlinmusic!! @VAPA_CVESD @VH1SaveTheMusic
